👉 In the context of medicine, "hepatoptosia" refers to a condition where the liver becomes inflamed or enlarged. This can be due to various conditions such as viral hepatitis, autoimmune disease, or certain medications. The liver is responsible for detoxifying toxins and maintaining proper metabolism. If this condition progresses, it can lead to other symptoms such as pain in the abdomen, nausea, and fatigue. Treatment may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and sometimes surgery if necessary.
